OUR PRIVATE EQUITY PROGRAM

BCI invests in leverage buyout and growth equity opportunities that include market leading companies with tangible downside protection. Portfolio companies have a sustainable competitive advantage, offer value-added products and services, and are led by talented management teams.

We are a direct equity investor and may also invest alongside a strategic general partner with deep sector expertise. Our significant equity investments secure meaningful governance positions, allowing BCI to fulfill our role as an active asset manager in overseeing the strategic direction of each company. Value creation informs our activities and we seek stable cash flows over the duration of the investment holding.
